Chapter 1: What is Juju's new Alley Oop show about?

00:02 - 00:23 Dan Le Batard

I saw some stuff, some early stuff on Juju's new Alley Oop show. We're going to debut tomorrow. We're going to show you some of what it is that Juju's doing on the interwebs around basketball coverage. He has been, oh, Willow. What's Willow doing? What does Willow want? Seems like she's bothering somebody. Whoa, Billy, what's happening? What are you eating that Willow wants?

0

00:24 - 00:27 Jessica

Food, lunch. So I got a recompoyo with like some black beans here.

0

00:28 - 00:35 Dan Le Batard

So anyway, excuse me for doing that. I was distracted by Willow. Tony, I don't know what's happening with Tony there. Tony, this is the first I'm hearing of any of this.

Chapter 2: Why is Willow causing a distraction in the office?

00:36 - 00:54 Tony

Bothering people in the office. You said you never see anybody bothered. Bothered. I mean, I like Willow. Everyone here likes Willow. No, I like her. I like her. I like her at Jess's house. She's great there, by the way. I've been at Jess's house, and the dog's been great. We've been hanging out and doing things.

0

00:54 - 00:57 Billy

I'll remember this. Not in the office. Don't worry.

0

Chapter 3: Who is Juju's brother and why was he in the office?

00:57 - 01:03 Tony

Juju. Your brother was at the office last week doing nothing. Again, I didn't approve of that. I don't know what happened there.

0

01:03 - 01:07 Dan Le Batard

I did not meet your brother. I didn't see your brother. I don't know why your brother was in the office.

0

01:07 - 01:11 Billy

You probably didn't. You just thought it was Tony. Okay, yes. They're just the same person.

0

01:11 - 01:17 Jessica

They sound exactly the same. He speaks with the same vocal patterns and level of arrogance.

0

00:00 - 00:00 Dan Le Batard

It's like Ozzie and Jose Canseco, one of the great sports.

00:00 - 00:00 Tony

The problem is my brother's like 60 pounds lighter than I am. That's the only difference. Better looking, too.

00:00 - 00:00 Dan Le Batard

Juju, I'm sorry to interrupt you. And as I was saying, I'm very much looking forward to watching yet more. I should say debut of his show here because the Alley Hoop show is not. He's been doing it during the postseason and been doing professional basketball coverage for us for a while. Nice to see you, sir. Do you have any opinions on any of the subject matter that we had today?

Chapter 4: What gift did Juju bring for Zaslow?

01:47 - 02:06 Juju Gotti

Yes, sir. I appreciate the warm welcome. You feel me? Alley-oop show. You know what I mean? A little snippet show. We did a little quick pilot with my sister, Trista Crick, who could be seen on It Is What It Is. And my dog, Josh Smith, Stephen A. Smith, little nephew, who's taking the internet by storm right now. My dog's from, you know what I mean, from a couple of years right now.

0

02:06 - 02:23 Juju Gotti

So I appreciate that. And check it out tomorrow when we put it up. And it's good to see my brother, Johnny Z, back in the studio today. You feel me? Great to see you. I rearranged it. The house I put the Florida up for you, my dog. Ethan Badowski, you dig me? I also brought something for you as well for you to make sure. That's not for me.

0

02:23 - 02:28 Dan Le Batard

Oh, no. Nope. Oh, a Celtics 2024 World Championship banner.

0

02:28 - 02:29 Zaslow

I'm not out of toilet paper.

0

00:00 - 00:00 Dan Le Batard

Oh, no.

Chapter 5: What are the opinions on Cooper Flagg's draft decisions?

02:30 - 02:30 Zaslow

No.

0

02:30 - 02:31 Dan Le Batard

No.

0

02:34 - 02:51 Juju Gotti

But, yeah, I want to chime in on the comment y'all were talking about Cooper Flagg. And I agree with Billy. Like, if Cooper Flagg draft dodges this year, it's a surprise. The Wizards are going to be waiting for him with open arms next year. So, no matter what you do, you can stay an extra year and play with your Achilles tendon if you want to.

0

02:52 - 03:01 Juju Gotti

And like Jess said, Duke is not a walk in the ballpark. You got to wake up and do your job at Duke. So, I agree with y'all on both sides of that.

0

00:00 - 00:00 Zaslow

I'd like a camera on. Cooper Flagg when the draft lottery is done the second year when he skips the first year because it was the Wizards and then the Wizards come up again the second year. There's just a camera on his home which is shit.

00:00 - 00:00 Juju Gotti

Hell yeah. And they said the same thing about Cade Cunningham when he got drafted by the Pistons. And you see that franchise has been turned around slowly but surely. And I think Tony said this word earlier. Those players believe in themselves to be that person who's going to change that organization around.

Chapter 6: How do college basketball rivalries compare to the past?

03:35 - 03:56 Juju Gotti

I definitely feel both sides of the argument, as well as I think that that's a big component of why college basketball rivalries aren't what they used to be anymore. You feel me? Like imagine Dalton Connect on this Tennessee team. It'll be crazy. Imagine Jason Tatum playing with Zion. I feel like that's what we got back in the days.

0

03:56 - 04:01 Juju Gotti

And the one and done scenarios, although lucrative, have robbed us of that great college basketball rivalry.

0

04:01 - 04:16 Billy

I think that's one of the many reasons why a lot of fans are turning to women's college basketball, because you have more continuity year to year and you know who the stars are. You can watch someone like Caitlin Clark or Juju Watkins play two, three, four years for the same school.

0

04:16 - 04:26 Billy

And you can watch someone like Hannah Hidalgo go from a freshman averaging 18 points a game or whatever to a sophomore averaging 24 points a game. And then you know she's going to be back next year, hopefully with the same team.

0

00:00 - 00:00 Juju Gotti

Right. And those rules for the women, the ladies, you got to stay like three years or either be 22 years old. We might need to meet halfway somewhere with that with the men because a lot of these ladies get to develop. And I saw a video of Haley Van Lith yesterday after winning the game, just describing her testimony like, man, some of her first years, although exciting and flashy.

00:00 - 00:00 Juju Gotti

She was super-duper depressed and was going through a lot of mental hurdles. And so now that she's with TCU, it has shown her and gave her a little plateau of enlightenment. So I think that the growth of these college kids, it's something to be studied for, like she say, staying a couple of extra years to develop yourself instead of going straight into the professionalism.

00:00 - 00:00 Billy

What is it?

00:00 - 00:00 Dan Le Batard

What is going on with our tournament of sound? Was it widely rejected? Was it poo-pooed?

00:00 - 00:00 Juju Gotti

I mean, it wasn't poo-pooed. It was just, you know what I mean, a little smell on it. So I made my own top five list of sounds that you guys forgot. Okay. You dig me. OLI, the PlayStation 2 load screen. Starting up in the little galaxy. OLI as well. Sega. As soon as you open the Sega, turn it on. You dig it. Number five, the Netflix opener. You feel me? I think Jessica said this one earlier.
